Maintenance and Increasing the Lifespan of Household Appliances

Proper maintenance of household appliances, besides reducing repair and replacement costs, can significantly increase the lifespan of these items. Below are some practical tips for maintaining and optimizing the use of household appliances:

1. Refrigerator and Freezer

Cleaning the coils behind the refrigerator: Clean the coils at least every 6 months to optimize energy efficiency.

Checking the door seals: Ensure the door seals are intact and not cracked, as faulty seals can lead to energy loss.

Setting the right temperature: Set the refrigerator temperature between 3 to 5 degrees and the freezer temperature around -18 degrees Celsius.

2. Washing Machine

Cleaning the filters: Regularly clean the filters to prevent clogging and reduce machine performance.

Avoid overloading: Do not overload the machine with clothes beyond the recommended capacity, as it puts pressure on the motor and drum.

Drying the door seal: After each wash, dry the door seal to prevent mold growth and unpleasant odors.

3. Dishwasher

Use appropriate detergents: Use standard and high-quality detergents to ensure the machine works properly.

Cleaning filters and nozzles: Clean the filters and water nozzles monthly to prevent blockages.

Removing leftover food: Clean leftover food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher to increase the machine's lifespan.

4. Gas Stove and Oven

Cleaning the surface and burners: Clean the surface and burners from grease and food particles after each use.

Checking the gas hose: Inspect the gas hose every few months to ensure there are no leaks.

Cleaning the oven interior: Use gentle methods to clean the inside of the oven to avoid damaging the enamel.

5. Air Conditioner and Split System

Cleaning the filters: Clean or replace air filters monthly to ensure proper airflow.

Checking the AC gas: Annually check the AC gas levels and recharge if necessary.

Cleaning the condenser: Keep the external part of the unit clean to increase efficiency.

6. Vacuum Cleaner

Replacing the vacuum bag: Replace the bag before it gets completely full to prevent pressure on the machine's motor.

Checking cables and plugs: Ensure the cables and plugs are in good condition for the machine to work properly.
